They are talking about the reasons that Rand has stayed so long rather than leaving a month ago when he should have. Rand says that it is partly to blame on Moiraine. Moiraine told him that he would go mad and then die. Since then she has had nothing to say to him and it worries Rand but she acts as if she has said nothing to him.
